President-elect Donald  Trump has nominated former NFL player Herschel Walker to be the next ambassador to the Bahamas.

Trump made the announcement Tuesday on Truth Social and X, formerly Twitter.

I am pleased to nominate Herschel Walker as United States Ambassador to the Commonwealth of the Bahamas.

Herschel has spent decades serving as an Ambassador to our Nation’s youth, our men and women in the Military, and athletes at home and abroad.

A successful businessman,…

— Donald J. Trump Posts From His Truth Social (@TrumpDailyPosts) December 18, 2024

“Herschel has spent decades serving as an Ambassador to our Nation’s youth, our men and women in the Military, and athletes at home and abroad,” Trump wrote in his post.

“A successful businessman, philanthropist, former Heisman Trophy winner, and NFL Great, Herschel has been a tireless advocate for youth sports. During my First Term, he served as Co-Chair of the President’s Council on Sports, Fitness, and Nutrition,” Trump added. “Herschel has traveled to over 400 Military installations around the World, removing the stigma surrounding mental health. He represented the United States at the 1992 Winter Olympics as a member of the U.S. bobsled team.”

In college, Walker was a standout running back at the University of Georgia. As such, he won the Heisman Trophy before continuing to play football in the NFL, per The Hill.

In 2022, he failed to unseat incumbent Sen. Raphael Warnock (D-Ga.) in the Georgia Senate race.

Trump backed Walker in his campaign that was marred by controversies. 

Some responses to the nomination were not very supportive on on X:

Trump appointed Herschel Walker as ambassador to The Bahamas. Trump is running out of people. Would not be surprised to see ambasadorships for sale on ebay.

How long before Herschel Walker claims he is "President" of the Bahamas? 🙄😉

If the test to become an ambassador was simply “spell the name of the country to which you’ll be representing the US” Herschel Walker would not be qualified
